Helices in Low Molecular-Weight Gels

Low-Molecular-Weight Gels: The State of the Art

The Bigger Picture Gels are ubiquitous soft solids that are widely used in everyday life. Most gels are based on polymeric materials, as either entangled biopolymers or covalently crosslinked networks. Low-molecularweight gels, or supramolecular gels, are another fascinating and useful class of gel. Here, the assembly of small molecules into a network immobilizes the solvent. These materials ar...

Low Molecular Weight Heparin Overdose: A 10 Year Case Series

  Background: Low molecular weight heparin (LMWH) is used for the treatment and prevention of coagulative disorders. Few patients receiving therapeutic doses of LMWH develop major hemorrhage. Currently there are few reports in the literature on acute overdose on adults.  In this study, clinical profile, treatment and outcome of 21 patients who acutely overdosed enoxaparin are described. Method...

Low Molecular Weight Micelles

I.F. Uchegbu et al. (eds.), Fundamentals of Pharmaceutical Nanoscience, DOI 10.1007/978-1-4614-9164-4_2, © Springer Science+Business Media New York 2013 Abstract Low molecular weight amphiphile micelles are formed from the selfassembly of comparatively hydrophilic amphiphiles (molecular weight <1,500 Da). These structures may be spherical or present as nanofi bres in the case of peptide amphiph...

Multicomponent low molecular weight gelators.

Low molecular weight gelators (LMWG) self-assemble in solution into one-dimensional objects such as fibres or tapes. The entanglement of these fibres or tapes results in the formation of a network and a gel. In general, LMWG are investigated as single component systems. However, there are significant potential opportunities from mixed LMWG systems, which are rarely investigated. Here, we discus...
